This typically Punjabi (North Indian) dish tastes really nice with Makki Ki Roti (Indian maize flatbread) and a dollop of fresh butter.

You can use either mustard or collard greens (or a combination of both) along with the spinach.

INGREDIENTS:

1 bunch spinach washed and chopped fine
1 bunch mustard greens washed and chopped fine
2 green chillies
1 tbsp grated ginger (or paste)
1 tbsp grated garlic (or paste)
Salt to taste
2-3 tbsps ghee (clarified butter)
1 large onion grated
1 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp garam masala powder
Juice of 1/2 a lime/ lemon
1 tbsp bengal gram flour/ maize flour

PREPARATION:

Mix the greens, green chillies and salt to taste and boil in 1 cup of water till cooked.

Mash the greens mix well to make a course paste. In another pan, heat the ghee on a medium flame. When hot add the grated onion and fry till pale golden. Add all the other ingredients and fry till oil separates from the masala (onion-spice mix). Add the greens mix to this and stir till blended.

Garnish with a dollop of butter and serve with Makki Ki Roti (Indian maize flatbread).
